considering the rise of al qaeda and libya, the rise of al qaeda in other places. how do you respond to that? >> the fact is, thanks to barack obama's commitment to re-establishing our focus on decimating the ranks of al qaeda, thanks to his successful bringing of osama bin laden to justice, al qaeda is not able to stage massive attacks in multiple places. they are in very, very limited ways able to stage attacks. >> but they're certainly creating new instability in the middle east. they seem new outposts of al qaeda. >> the bottom line, they are dramatically, dramatically reduced in terms of their ability to make significant damage. and that was the importance of shifting -- bringing our troops home from iraq, shifting our focus to decimating al qaeda, reducing their ability to really have widespread impact and shrinking their ability to commit significant acts of terror. that's why we have to keep our eye on the prize, we have to keep focusing on making sure we can protect america from those who would do us harm. not the backwards cowboy justice that mitt romney

we keep saying that al qaeda and taliban have no connection. whoever believes in that believes in the tooth fairy. i was invited for that. it's the only this evening i can contribute, the regional conflict. >> don't go away. >> i won't go away. >> just one point of clarification. you're right, everybody wants to create ticalifi and aspirations -- they failed miserably, weren't able to do anything. when i look at al qaeda, i see they have not on that aspiration but they are also talking about world conquest. the issue for me is where are they at in actually achieving their objectives? to me what i see is the first objective of overthrowing these rulers seems to have happened through other means but there's places like egypt where mubarak is no longer in charge. but immediately they wanted to set up sharia in those places and failed. the only places they've been able to set up sharia is yemen, pakistan and the places like emirates. i believe that the correct metric for measuring whether they're successful in these areas has to do -- >> there are

>> it's important to understand we don't know if this is al qaeda-inspired, al qaeda-directed, or al qaeda-inspected. my guess is it's al qaeda inspired. perhaps there's qatari money, but these guys are really fanatical islamists but they're not getting their orders from zawahiri. it makes it very difficult for the united states to give any kind of blanket support to the syrian rebels because we're always going to be worried, well, what if the weapons get to these guys? what if some measures we take empower these guys? we don't want these weapons to be used against an american aircraft carrier, you know, or a por port or subway five years from now. >> it seems like it's reaching a critical mass in the united states, the move to arm and help the rebels in some way. i could be wrong, but it feels we're hearing more and more about it. i still don't understand because we go in and we intervene in libya. and we weren't able to procure weapons there. now the weapons are being used in gaza and now apparently being used in syria. so if we intervene, does it do more good than harm? >> i think
